Live like an ant

Watching the movie, I felt very confused. Riko, this man with his self-esteem, sensitivity, weakness, and powerlessness. No one in this world will pay attention to him. No one will remember him when he is dead. He steals things, but he has My belief is painful because of dirty words and deeds. So barely alive. Just live like that. He cares about Joe. This may be his only comfort before death. Both of them are so homophobic, but they have feelings. Despite their feelings, I don't want to regard it as homosexuality, because our wishful thinking for a long time with you may be contrary to the parties' wishes.
On the bridge, when Rexother limped and limped to follow Joe's pace, it made me feel that this was a great irony, as if he couldn't catch up with this so-called normal world. What's wrong in our society? NS?
When Rico polished Joe's shoes, those people naturally sat there and waited, while Rico could only polish each shoe very seriously. In fact, the people sitting there are not necessarily good people, but at least they are not like Rick. Rico is obviously very skilled, but the truth is that he despises his father who has wiped his shoes all his life, but he is not much better than his father, and even if he hadn't met Joe, no one would remember him at all. We have no way of knowing how he is getting worse and worse, being human-oriented, and what does he mean? How do ordinary people like ants understand the world?

Midnight Cowboy quotes

  • Joe Buck: I like the way I look. Makes me feel good, it does. And women like me, goddammit. Hell, the only one thing I ever been good for is lovin'. Women go crazy for me, that's a really true fact! Ratso, hell! Crazy Annie they had to send her away!

    Ratso Rizzo: Then, how come you ain't scored once the whole time you been in New York?

  • [At the gravesite of his father]

    Ratso Rizzo: He was even dumber than you. He couldn't even write his own name. "X," that's what it ought to say on that goddamn headstone, one big lousy "X". Just like our dump. Condemned by order of City Hall.
